Default Can someone 'splain this?

Results Stage 1 :
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php...8/routedusud081

No prologue that I am aware of.
It appears there are time bonuses. Fine.
But place 4 in the stage becomes place 5 on GC and vice versa.

How?

Ever heard of intermediary sprints giving time bonuses? This happens in
some stage races.
